Perhaps picking them before they reach highest Brix may help in keeping them
over the winter. I picked some Winesap last fall, much sweeter than the year
previous. They are losing ground this time of year, whereas last year at this
time they were still in amazing shape. And flavor.

Black Oxford&#13;&#10;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; We are in Northern VT borderline
zone 3/4-- and have a couple of 10&#13;&#10;&#62; year old Black Oxfords that
have survived our cold winters. We got a&#13;&#10;&#62; nice harvest last
fall and they are really great apples-- but, we&#13;&#10;&#62; found they did
not keep well, contrary to what we&#39;ve read-- they were&#13;&#10;&#62;
wrinkly and soft by January.&#13;&#10;&#62;

Quebec, I am afraid it didn&#39;t&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; survive, hence I
don&#39;t have it anymore. I don&#39;t&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; think the variety
is hardy enough for zone 4.&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; Claude&#13;&#10;&#62;
&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62; Le 13&#58;46 12.04.01, vous avez
&#233;crit&#58;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; John Barbowski asks where he can
get Black&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; Oxford in Canada. I have tried to
publicise the&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; fact that I have become the Canadian
Sources&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; consultant for NAFEX, but obviously
the&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; message has not gotten through.&#13;&#10;&#62;
&#62;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; Yes, Siloam Orchards and O&#39;Keefe
Grange, &#40;both&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; in Ontario&#41;, as well as
Claude Jolicoeur all&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; have this
cultivar.&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62;&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; And if the rest
of you Canadian growers care to&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; share your lists of
holdings with me, I will add&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; them to my database.
Canadian Growers&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; Unite&#33; You have only the
attentions of the CFIA to&#13;&#10;&#62; &#62;&#62; lose&#33;&#13;&#10;&#62;
